RISC-V Patches for 5.0-rc4
This contains handful of patches that I'd like to target for 5.0. I know it's
a bit late, I thought I'd already sent these out but must have managed to miss
doing so. The patches include:
* A handful of fixes to PTE lookups related to H-mode support.
* The addition of a serial number fo the SiFive U implementetaion, which allows
bootloaders to generate a sane MAC address.
These pass "make check" and boot Linux for me.

Peter: Sorry I dropped the ball here. I can understand if it's too late for
5.0, but if there's still going to be an rc4 then I'd love to have these
included.

Nope, sorry. rc4 has technically not been tagged yet, but especially
the serial-property stuff is too big a code change at this point
(it includes one "let's just refactor and rearrange some code"
patch which is really not rc4 material.)
Also these patches have been on the list for over a month -- if
they were 5.0-worthy there's been plenty of time for them to be
put in.
Plus the last email from Alistair on the "target/riscv: Don't set
write permissions on dirty PTEs" patch thread is a note saying
it shouldn't be applied, unless I've got confused.
